I began making multiple plate colour etchings 5 years ago. Its impossible to predict the image that emerges and I take it through many states . In this way I develop images that I could not predict but are much closer to something that appears real.

I try to make the observer empathise with the human image I have made: to feel, 'I know that feeling'. I have found the abstract qualities of the image intensifies this impact.
